ON to PEI - Through the US or...?

As the subject suggests we are planning on dragging our 20' Toy Hauler (and a few toys) out to the East Coast from Ontario this summer. The time and distance that Google suggests is nearly identical whether we go through Canada or cut through the US (from Buffalo to Calais, ME).
The fuel is cheaper in the US so I'd like to pursue that route, providing any savings aren't offset by huge elevations and steep inclines. It looks pretty coastal so I can't see many elevation changes, but I'd love to hear from anyone that has done the trip, or has any input.

  • If you are considering fuel savings going thru the US that will be disappear by the tolls.

    Went thru a couple years ago from NB to ON, we were close to $100 CA for tolls.

    This fall we came down 87 from 90 in MA to 84 at Newburgh NY, 100 miles, $20 US toll!!!!

    We were hauling a 5th wheel.

    I guess when you start hauling another set of axles the tolls start to climb exponentially...
  • We did that trip a few years ago.
    Went through the states on the way out, stopping in New Brunswick at the Bay of Fundy National Park. On the way home stayed pretty much in Canada with a 2 day stop in Quebec City. Great trip
